Quit Talkin' 'Bout My Girl, Man

John McCain's campaign has said that people are unfairly attacking Sarah Palin for her background. He should have known better before nominating her for Vice President. Once someone elevates to the level of national politics all bets are off. There is a very good reason for this. As City Commissioner and later Mayor of Wasilla, Mrs. Palin had a direct effect over 9,500 people. As Governor of Alaska, her 'imminent domain' raised to 663,661 according to the 2005 census. Yes I recognize that imminent domain has nothing to do with direct control of constituencies, but sphere of influence allows for the total realm of influence and governors can reach around a bit (giggity). Back to the point. As Vice President of the United States of America, she would suddenly be the number two voice for 300,000,000 (million) people. Not to say that she can't do the job, she may be exactly the right person for it, but she does deserve the scrutiny. Especially with what we are finding in her background. John McCain should have known what he was getting this woman and her family into, and he should be thanking Obama for not attacking her on her family values since she's attacking him on it.
